Naruto: Talent Analyst-Chapter 124: Rubbish Will of Fire

"Wouldn't it be nice to do this earlier? Did you really think I'd negotiate nicely with you like the First Hokage?"

Yuta put away the Susanoo with a smirk.

Among this group, not a single person had the strength to stand up to him.

Who would dare challenge him here?

"What a pity! I thought someone would be willing to sacrifice their life for the Will of Fire."

"If that were the case, I wouldn't mind fulfilling their wish."

"But it seems I overestimated you. So your so-called belief in the Will of Fire is just that, nothing but words."

Yuta blatantly mocked all of them.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is frёeωebɳovel.com.

The expressions of everyone in the conference room turned ugly.

Some people believed in the Will of Fire, but if they were asked to risk their lives for it?

That's not happening.

Defending one's family?

Maybe.

But dying for some abstract ideal?

Only a fool would do such a thing.

Next, the discussions over the power distribution within Konoha's departments began.

The people present could only argue among themselves.

No one dared to challenge Yuta's words or decisions.

Soon, the restructuring of Konoha's organizations was settled.

Yuta didn't fight for real power. He had no desire to take on extra responsibilities.

But whichever department it was, one thing was common between all of them.

Strength is the greatest power.

"This is enough for today."

Yuta said, standing up and preparing to leave.

"Do you think I want to clean up your mess?"

"Some things are just too disgusting. I won't tolerate people I find disgusting. That's all."

As he stepped outside the Hokage building, Yuta suddenly used the Susanoo once again.

The Konoha ninjas that were accompanying him were startled.

What is Yuta doing now?

Didn't they just finish discussing everything?

They had all agreed with what he had said.

Their questions were answered in an instant.

The Susanoo drew back its bow and aimed at one of the Hokage rock statues.

Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Whoosh!

Boom!

The arrow shot out and precisely hit Sarutobi Hiruzen' rock statue.

The statue then exploded into dust.

But the statues of the Second and Fourth Hokage beside it remained unchanged.

"Tch! Sarutobi Hiruzen, one of the people I despise the most."

"That old man? Hokage? Is he worthy of having a rock statue?"

Yuta's expression was full of disdain.

When the tree leaves bloom,

One shall find flames.

The fire's shadow will illuminate the village,

And once again tree leaves shall bud anew.

Sarutobi Hiruzen often repeated these words.

But in truth, he and Danzō burned the new leaves just to protect their own useless old leaves.

Did Konoha ninjas truly believe in the Will of Fire?

If they did, why did the Hyuga clan still have the branch house system?

Aren't they all supposed to be comrades under the Will of Fire?

But the branch house members are treated as nothing but servants. They are expected to die for the main house.

Even Naruto, who believed in the Will of Fire, never abolished the branch house system even after becoming the Hokage.

Tsunade, who was beside Yuta remained calm.

She had originally wanted to persuade Yuta to reconsider abolishing the Hokage position.

She didn't even mind supporting him as the Hokage as long as the position itself could remain.

But she never expected Yuta to turn against them so suddenly.

Yuta used the Susanoo against his own fellow villagers without hesitation.

For a moment, Tsunade recalled the prophecy Jiraiya had once told her about.

The "Son of Destruction" foretold by the Great Toad Sage.

Could Yuta be that guy?

Smack!

Tsunade slapped her forehead and cursed inwardly.

Was her brain malfunctioning?

She was actually believing Jiraiya's nonsense.

Son of Prophecy! Son of Destruction!

What a load of crap!

Only that idiot Jiraiya would fall for it.

Suddenly!

Tsunade saw Yuta pull out a kunai and hurl it toward a corner.

The kunai ricocheted off the wall, changing direction, and struck a dark crevice.

"?"

Tsunade blinked in confusion.

"A snake?"

Yuta walked over, and found a small snake pierced by the kunai.

He had sensed someone watching him from a certain location and he attacked that location on instinct.

But it turned out to be just a tiny brown snake.

Tsunade approached Yuta and immediately recognized that snake.

Her expression changed and she wondered, "Could it be Orochimaru?"

Why was there a snake near the Hokage building?

And it was not just any snake but one that looked exactly like Orochimaru's summons.

"It's probably not Orochimaru but it's interesting."

Yuta activated Kagura Mind Eye, and scanned the entire Konoha.

Summoned creatures retain traces of their summoner's chakra.

Relying on this, he could track down the summoner.

Soon

He locked onto the summoner's location.

"Kabuto... huh?"

Yuta narrowed his eyes.

Meanwhile, in a forest 20 miles from Konoha

Orochimaru and Sasori waited in the shadows.

Pain had ordered them to gather intelligence on Konoha.

They weren't planning on being reckless.

Both of them had their own trump cards, but sneaking into Konoha directly was too risky.

It was safer to send someone else.

That someone was Kabuto, who posed as a Konoha ninja.

Sasori sneered impatiently, "Hmph, Orochimaru, your minions are too slow."

'Orochimaru, this fool, has no idea that Kabuto is already under my secret control.' Sasori thought to himself.

If anything happens to Orochimaru, Sasori will know instantly.

"Relax!" Orochimaru chuckled darkly.

"With eternal life ahead of you, you should learn to take it easy."

He had nearly perfected his Living Corpse Reincarnation technique.

It wasn't true immortality but as long as he switches bodies every few years, he will basically be immortal.

Sasori, on the other hand, had transformed himself into a complete puppet.

In a way, that was also a form of eternal life.

Orochimaru wasn't oblivious and he knew all about Sasori's tricks.

Sasori had planted a brainwashing seal inside Kabuto's mind.

It was a technique that allowed him to control his movements.

But Orochimaru had already discovered and nullified the manipulation.

He only left just a little bit of the technique that was enough to fool Sasori.

Sasori thought he had everything under control.

In reality, Orochimaru was only letting him think that.

The two continued their mind games while waiting.

Soon

The rustling of leaves sounded. This meant that Kabuto was approaching.

"That's Kabuto's chakra." Orochimaru said.

Once they knew about Konoha's current situation, they would leave immediately.

There was no way he would risk confronting Yuta again.

At leats, not after he had seen him single-handedly defeat an army of thousands of ninjas.

"Haah... haah..."

Kabuto arrived while panting.

Just as he opened his mouth to report, something moved at a terrifying speed behind him.

"Perfect." Yuta's voice rang out.

"Orochimaru and Sasori, both are here. Looks like I can take care of both of you in one go."

Yuta turned to Kabuto and smirked.

He said, "Kabuto, thanks for leading the way."

Orochimaru and Sasori's expressions twisted in horror.

How did Yuta get here?!

Yuta was the one person they wanted to avoid the most.

And this damn Kabuto had just led him straight to them?!

Was this guy a traitor?!
